Virtuosic pianist Orion Weiss returns to Newport for a solo recital of Bach’s beloved Goldberg Variations, the composer’s most popular keyboard work, consisting of an aria and 30 variations. One of the most sought-after soloists in his generation of American musicians Weiss is widely regarded as a “brilliant pianist” (The New York Times) with “powerful technique and exceptional insight” (The Washington Post).
This concert is made possible through the generous support of Starkweather & Shepley Insurance.
